  1. Grandad owned a farm in Devon, dad got me a .410 three shot bolt action when I was 8 and let me loose on the rabbits and pigeons and have been shooting ever since, going to be getting my little girl a .410 as soon as she can lift a gun, she is 1 year at the moment but not long now!

  2. Come on guys, look at the title and read the words, this is a young lad that is on a forum and thought this might get him some respect but ended up going horibly wrong.

     

    Airgun open sights barn clearence, no issues if you can consistanly shoot a target at 15-20 yrds to allow head shots.

     

    We all get the occasional non kill shots and it is all about clearing up and minimising suffering so learn how to dispatch a wounded animal be it fur or feather and practice this on an animial you have already killed so you know what to do in real life as and when it happens.

     

    Lastly, yes the post title was very poor, take note and next post remember we are all at different levels of knowledge here and for the most part be honest and people will help. We all shoot, this means killing things but repsecting the quarry is the number one rule here.

     

    Good luck and do not give up!

  3. Love my SxS for clays, I will never win comps but my avaerage is about the same if not better with the Sxs as it just feels so much better to shoot with. Also having damascus barrels it looks great too!

     

    I also use a 16 bore SxS hammer gun, getting use to the second shot took a while with the first hammer up as it sometimes gets in the sight picture but again when you get used to it it is fine.

  4. If I am honest and I never am I would say between 50 - 70% depending on how I am feeling on the day, seem to have better days in really windy weather for some reason and never do well on the right to left, think it is something to do with the earths rotation,,, :lol:

  5. Used to care, these days not too fussed, I get mine delivered from Virgin and have never had a bad bottle, and there have been a few. There is the whole eco consideration regarding cork production but as regards to the taste of the wine that is only a few seasons old there is very little to tell.
